Increased Risk of Cholesteatoma in Individuals With Alpha‐1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: A Cohort Study

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Patients with AATD had a 3.6‐fold increased risk of cholesteatoma surgery (HR: 3.62) compared to controls. These findings suggest that AATD may contribute to the development of cholesteatoma. ABSTRACT Objective To estimate the risk of cholesteatoma in patients with alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) compared to the general population using time‐to ...
